Contacts in Outlook

[FOBSIDE]

I have a contacts question in Outlook. When i open a new email and click the TO button I get this error message.

"The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permission. For more information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help."

When I go to CONTACTS in the folder view in Outlook, it shows that I do have contacts listed. I think I need to reassociate the contacts with Outlook so it knows where to find them, but I don't know how. Does anyone know?

Thanks for any help.

Hit the drop down arrow in the show names from the: combo box and select the contacts folder ( there is sometimes two; choose the second one) that has your contacts in it.
To sort which address book opens first go to Tools/ Address books/ Tools/ options then set which address book opens first, make sure you pick the one that has your contacts list in it. Most people set it to Global address book if they are on an exchange server.
